Accessibility statement for Dayward Sleep.
Dayward Sleep targets WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across the public website and the patient care portal. This page describes our standard, the practices we follow, known gaps, and how to report a barrier so we can fix it.
Our standard
We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level across the public website and the patient care portal. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard most commonly referenced by US Section 508 and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act for digital services.
Conformance is a target and an ongoing practice, not a fixed certificate. New features ship continuously; we audit them against the standard before and after release.
What we do
- Semantic HTML structure with correct heading hierarchy, landmarks, and ARIA where the native semantics are insufficient.
- Keyboard navigability across the public site and the patient portal, including visible focus indicators.
- Color contrast meeting the WCAG AA threshold for text and interactive components, validated against our design tokens.
- Reduced-motion respect. Animations and transitions honor the `prefers-reduced-motion` user setting.
- Alternative text for informative imagery and skip-links for long-form content.
- Form labels, error messaging, and validation patterns designed for assistive technologies, not only sighted users.
Auditing and ongoing review
We combine internal review with third-party audits. We are committed to a recurring external audit cadence and will publish the cadence and partner here once both are finalized.
In the meantime, every new feature that touches a patient-facing surface passes an internal accessibility review before release.
Known gaps
We will list known accessibility limitations here as they are identified during audits, along with the timeline for remediation. If you encounter a barrier that is not listed, the section below is how to tell us about it.
Reporting a barrier
If something on this site or inside the patient portal is not usable with the assistive technology you rely on, please tell us. Include the page or screen, the device and assistive technology you are using, and what you were trying to do.
Accessibility reports are treated as priority issues. We aim to acknowledge them within one business day and to follow up with a remediation plan within ten.
